ABC News projects Equal Protection passes in New York
ABC News projects New York's Equal Rights Amendment, Proposition 1, has passed.
The amendment to the state's constitution bars discrimination based on things including "gender identity" and "pregnancy outcomes," changes supporters say will further protect transgender and abortion rights.
Supporters and opponents disagreed sharply about the potential legal impact of the Equal Rights Amendment, also known as Proposition 1. It was fiercely opposed by conservatives who said it would enshrine a legal right for transgender athletes to play on girls' sports teams.
The amendment adds language to the state constitution saying someone cannot be denied civil rights because of their national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes or "reproductive healthcare and autonomy." Previously, the constitution forbid discrimination based on race, creed or religion.
